Hello Allies!

Bug reports continue to flow through, thank you to everyone who is helping me find them!

I'm aware there are bugs regarding controller navigation in the shop, and it is my top priority currently to try and fix. Today's patch has a number of fixes and safeguards to prevent controller navigation becoming soft-locked.

Here is a list of issues addressed, but please note that this is an ongoing investigation:

Found and addressed some missing references in shop navigation.
Cleaned up some data that was not being reset between runs, resulting in knock-on effects leading to soft-locking issues.
You can now pause the game in the shop - doing so will reset any current combine/equip attempts and reset the controller navigation state. Between this and mousing over shop buttons and/or the Next Level button, one of these 2 methods should restore control if you have lost it. While this is, of course, a band-aid fix temporarily, it should at least prevent you from becoming soft-locked and being able to continue with your run.
Sister Ophelia's boss/elite damage should always trigger now.
Portals are now different colours depending on where they are taking you, and have had extra checks added to ensure they become traversable, and that the following elite battle starts correctly.
Removed ultra widescreen options from the resolutions dropdown, as they are not supported. You may need to pick a new resolution if you had it previously selected.
Added an "Update Notes" button to the main menu, to more easily communicate when changes have occurred, and broadcast any messages to players.

Please continue to post bug reports, either on the Steam forums, or on our Discord, which you can find a link to on the Steam page.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
